Rebirth in America: Great Slave Owner Chapter 18

On this day, Tangning had just put Scarlett on the train, and the housekeeper reported to him as soon as she arrived, "Master, Mrs. Murphy has sent someone to invite you to dinner at her house tonight to express her gratitude to you for treating her last night. Thanks!"

Hearing Mrs. Murphy's invitation, Tangning couldn't help thinking of the hasty but exciting touch last night, but she still had to maintain her image in front of the housekeeper, so she nodded with a straight face, "Okay, I see, let Gary Get the carriage ready by then." (Gary is his coachman)

That night, Tangning came to Mrs. Murphy's house on time. It could be seen that Mrs. Murphy was still very capable of management. Although Mr. Murphy had passed away, the entire manor was in good order, which made Tangning look at her with admiration.

"Mr. Tangning, first of all, thank you for saving me last night. To be honest, I even thought I was going to see Jeff soon!" Mrs. Murphy raised her glass and toasted Tangning. (Jeff is Mr. Murphy's name.)

Although Tangning knew that this was what it was meant to be tonight, she still replied politely, "Madam, you are welcome, this is what I should do!"

"This second cup is to thank Mr. Tangning for bringing light to my home!" After speaking, Mrs. Murphy pointed to the light bulb above.

At this time, Tangning naturally couldn't say that you gave the money, so there was no need to thank you, it was a shame, so she replied with a smile, "It's my honor!"

Then Mrs. Murphy raised her glass again, "This third glass, I want to beg Mr. Tangning to do me a favor!"

"Oh? What are you busy with?" Tangning asked curiously.

Mrs. Murphy paused, then said slowly, "Mr. Tangning, you may not know how hard it is to be a woman, especially a woman who has no husband but still has a considerable fortune. Almost every day there are people Staring at you, trying to swallow you and your property!"

Tangning understood Mrs. Murphy's worries very well, and he felt that there was one thing she didn't mention, that was her beauty and figure. As long as she was taken down, she would have both money and sex!

But he was a little puzzled, how could he help her? So he asked, "I can understand your situation, Madam, but I don't know what I can do for you?"

"Be my lover!" Mrs. Murphy replied softly.

Although Mrs. Murphy's words were very light, Tangning couldn't believe her ears and couldn't help but exclaimed, "What?! Madam, please let me..."

Before Tangning could finish her sentence, Mrs. Murphy said, "That's right, I want to trouble you, Mr. Tangning, to be my lover, because that's the only way to make those guys give up!"

Then he said, "Mr. Tangning, you must be curious, why did I choose you, right?"

Tangning nodded and said, "That's right, because you are so beautiful, Madam, and you are in charge of Murphy Manor, so I hope there are many people who can be with you."

Mrs. Murphy snatched Tangning's words again, "Yes, there are indeed many men who want to be my mistresses, but those who have the ability and do not take advantage of others' dangers, I only met General Li and Mr. Tangning. It's a pity that Li The general can't stay in New Orleans for long, so he can't help me, so I can only trouble you, Mr. Tangning!"

Then she added with a smile, "And with Miss Howard here, I feel even more at ease! Of course, please don't worry, Mr. Tangning. I will take the initiative to explain this matter to Miss Howard!"

At this time, Tangning fully understood that not taking advantage of others' dangers was secondary. The main thing was that she knew that she would not let Scarlett marry a widow like her, so she didn't have to worry about plotting against her property. , this woman's calculations are really clear.

After thinking about it for a while, Tangning realized that this matter wouldn't hurt her, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay, then I'll promise you ma'am!"

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Murphy shook her slender fingers and said, "Don't call me Mrs. from now on, call me Nicole, Tony!"

"Okay, Nicole!" Tangning said fluently.

After chatting for a while, Nicole suddenly asked Tangning, "Tony, I heard you just came back from New York, tell me what's new there?"

Tangning replied without hesitation, "Of course you can." Then, she picked out some places that were different from New Orleans and gave Nicole a description.

After listening to this, Nicole suddenly said something surprising: "Tony, do you think I'll move to New York?"

Hearing Nicole's question, Tangning was taken aback and thought, if you wanted to go to New York, why would you want me to act for you? Unexpectedly, Nicole chuckled softly: "Tony, don't be so surprised, I'm just joking, New York does have good things about New York, but New Orleans also has good things about him, such as legal slaves here!"

Tangning understood Nicole's meaning after pondering for a while. In fact, it was the same as those rich people who traveled through India would rather live in New Delhi than go to New York and Shanghai, even though he knew that whether it was municipal construction or development In terms of level, New Delhi is a step behind, but in New Delhi he can legally use servants. It is very common for a rich man to hire a dozen servants, and it is very kind to allow servants to watch TV with him. This kind of enjoyment is You can't experience it in New York or Tokyo, so why not stay?

"But what if one day we can no longer legally use slaves?" Tangning asked tentatively.

This time, it was Nicole's turn to be stunned. After thinking for a while, she answered in a nonchalant manner, "This, this is impossible, right?"

"Why is it impossible?" Tangning asked.

"Because what would happen to our plantations without slaves? I don't think all of New Orleans or even all of Louisiana would agree! Except for those slaves, of course, but who would listen to them?" Nicole Shrugged.

"But what about those Yankees?" Tangning asked again.

Nicole snorted coldly: "They? Why should they care what we New Orleans do?"

"Under normal circumstances, they really can't control it, but what if they start a war?"

"Just for some black slaves, those Yankees are going to start a war? Are they crazy?"

PS: Seeing the data that fell today, I think I have to explain it. It's not that I didn't update it today. In fact, it's still the normal two updates today. It's just that Chapter 17 was blocked, and I even deleted hundreds of words. The result is still not solved, so I simply set up a group 741477261, welcome friends who come to discuss the plot!
